2021 Luxury Full-Size Car of the Year: Porsche Panamera
Three very different personalities competed in the full-size luxury sedan category. In the end, it was the sportiest of the lot that impressed our staff the most. The Porsche Panamera is indeed a sports car at heart, even if it can easily play the role of a family car when called upon to do so.
With three body styles available, including a wagon, and several powertrains, the Panamera has everything needed to impress potential owners - even though the BMW 7 Series and Genesis G90 were already very good choices.

2021 Subcompact SUV of the Year: Mazda CX-30
We have to admit, this category gave our reviewers a hard time. The Kia Seltos is already one of the most popular vehicles in its segment, while the Subaru Crosstrek has been a popular vehicle since its arrival on the market. In the end, it was the verve and dynamism of the CX-30 that propelled Mazda's crossover to the top.
Behind the wheel, the driving experience is truly unique and the initial quality is equally impressive. The manufacturer has done a great job with its little SUV.
